Samsara review and trailer

WHAT is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare? The documentary Samsara provides plenty of time to stand and stare as it weaves together incredibly beautiful images of everything that makes the world go around.

The images range from the quiet whisper of the desert to the teeming masses circling the Kaaba in Mecca. There are monks and temples, proud African faces, glorious stained glass windows and soulless factories, creation and consumption, baptisms and burials, grandiosity and humility.

Unfortunately, there is no commentary to accompany the images and nothing on screen that identifies any of them which makes Samsara more than a little frustrating.

If you have the patience, though, it still provides stunning snapshots from the great circle of life.
